A womans worth isn't depicted
In the pictures in magazines
Its a travesty
I keep askin me
What do I want
Out of my dream woman
And like 106 & park
All I see is video vixens
And smooth cover girls
And I know there are other girls
But I've been
Desensitized into believing
That that's what they should be
Now before I go further
I wanna offer a disclaimer
I love a king mag spreads
But real women don't have
Air brush and make-up artists on staff
So I have to ask myself
What do I want ?
I've dealt with women whose
Only appeal was sexiness
And I replaced them with another
And I know I aint the only brotha
With this feeling
I mean I want something more appealing to me
Than the physical
I mean am wrong as a man
To long for someone who
Has more than 1 card in her hand
I mean beauty fades right ?
And then what are you left with
See it all started
At the beginning
When everyone realized
The beauty of black women
And the new blaxploitation was born
And just like the runway models
Do crazy things to their body
To maintain their notoriety
The video vixens and king cover cuties
Do whatever to get theirs
So the quest for that 15 minutes
Impairs the better judgement
Of these girls
Who many men consider
To be hotties
And then you read about the ones
Who are letting plastic surgeons
Chop and screw they body
Just to stay ahead
So I don't know what's real anymore
Then the younger set sees
And end concluding that
That's what it takes
To be noticed
And we as men do the same
By giving them the attention they "worked" for
But we need to uplift
Our women show them they're worth more
Than the easy breezy
Fallacy that is the
Perfect female form
I mean perfection is reserved
For divine beings
An though we all are trying to be that
The truth is that perfection
Lies within the reflection
In the mirror
And the perception of self
One has between the ears
One of my greatest fears
Is that my daughter
Will feel inadequate
Whenever she sees pics
Of her favorite starlet
And will want to augment her appearance
To make up for the fear that
She may be inadequate aesthetically
And though she's only a thought now
My thought now is to change the culture
So the next generation
Has a better indication
Of self worth
